Bay of Plenty, New Zealand
Orokawa Bay
Orokawa Bay is a clothing-optional beach or natural swimming location in Western Bay of Plenty District, Bay of Plenty, New Zealand. The New Zealand Naturist Federation (NZNF), founded in 1944, coordinates a network of naturist clubs, pools, and beaches across both islands. Public naturism in New Zealand is concentrated in a few well-established locations — most famously Makorori/Tatapouri near Gisborne and Lady Jane Beach in Wellington — while informal naturist bathing has a long tradition at remote beaches and inland swimming holes across the North and South Islands. New Zealand law addresses public indecency under the Summary Offences Act 1981 (Section 27), which requires that the conduct be likely to offend a reasonable person. At established naturist locations, that standard is not met. For the broader legal context, see our public nudity laws guide.
